Nissan recalling 900,000 vehicles worldwide

Nissan is recalling more than 900,000 vehicles worldwide due to an accelerator sensor glitch that could cause an engine stall.

Nissan announced on Thursday that it is recalling a total of 908,900 vehicles worldwide because of a an accelerator pedal sensor defect. Nissan says the fault can cause the sensor to become unstable, which could result in weak acceleration or possibly an engine stall.

Nissan says about 764,800 of the vehicles, which range from the 2004-2013 model years, are in Japan. Those vehicles include the Serena, X-Trail, Lafesta and Fuga.

In the United States, Nissan is recalling 98,300 vehicles, including the Infiniti M.

Nissan will remedy the problem by installing new accelerator pedals and reprogramming the engine control unit. Nissan spokesman Chris Keeffe told Reuters that the entire procedure should take about 90 minutes.
